Nahum

This short prophetic book is about the future calamity of Nineveh. That wicked city had been spared when they repented at the preaching of Jonah (about 150 years before the time of Nahum). But apparently their repentance did not last for long. Because now this massive city has become the foe of God and a bastion of blood, deceit, prostitution, sorcery and every kind of wickedness.

If only they had held onto the God who is "good" and is a "stronghold in the day of distress" (1:7).
